Sorry I haven’t posted earlier! I am having another bad migraine attack! Let’s hope I don’t have this while Rick is coming home. So I am sharing a card I made last week.
The Limited Supply Challenge last week was more then tough for me! No tools were allowed except for sponges. I had the hardest time with that and I am not quite sure if I like this card! I had just gotten my Tart & Tangy set with the Summer Picnic Designer Paper and new I wanted to use that.
Since sponging was pretty much all I could do, sponging I did!
I colored the apples on my designer paper brown, so that the sentiment from Smarty Pants would make more sense.
The card base is a piece of 5″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock. It was folded in half and the edges of the card front were sponged.
Next is a 4″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock followed by a 1/4″ smaller piece of Pumpkin Pie. The Pumpkin Pie layer was stamped with the Twill background, sponged and a border was doodled with Chocolate Chip marker.
The Designer Paper layer measures 3″ x 3 1/4″ and is layered on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Chocolate Chip. I added a dotted border to the Designer paper with my white gel pen. Striped Wild Wasabi Ribbon was tied around both of those layers. They were attached to the other layers with dimensionals.
The apple was inked up with Real Red, Wild Wasabi and Chocolate Chip Markers (well…Wild Wasabi was applied with a Fantastix) and stamped on a 1 1/2″ x 1 5/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Again a border was doodled on the edges. The edge was also sponged with Pumpkin Pie. The cardstock was first layered on a 1/8″ bigger piece of Wild Wasabi, then Chocolate Chip.
So here you got it. A card I stamped that I am not crazy about! It lacks some umpf! It would look prettier if the apple was on a circle, or if I could have added paper piercing or brads. Oh well…I didn’t chicken out of the challenge! That has to count for something, right?

Love your card! Love ALL your cards! So sorry to hear you suffer migraines as well. I do too, but mine seem to be hormonal, so I usually have 3 good weeks a month. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Hope you feel better soon! That’s great to hear Rick is coming home…for good???
The card looks great! It’s hard to go back to just ink and paper when you have all the goodies to make them WOW!!!
HAPPY EASTER!
I think this is darling…in fact, you’re making me want this set more than ever!
I sure hope you’re feeling better! Happy Easter, sweet friend!!!
Fabulous card Beate! I see nothing wrong with it!! Your doodling adds a lot to the LSC card!!
Hope you are feeling better soon! Migraines cripple me at times too so I totally understand how you are feeling.
Happy Easter!
LOL, bad apples, too fun! I think this card turned out great!
Hope you’re feeling better!!
Happy Easter! 🙂
I second what the others have said — the card may not have all your usual special creative touches, but it is still a great card. I think newbies, in particular, will find it inspiring because it looks like it would be harder than it actually is. And for the rest of us? Sometimes it is nice to be reminded that quick and simple can be very nice, too.
Take care and send that migraine off to bother someone else — preferably someone who’s really beastly! Grin….
What lovely apple-y colours. Yummy crunchy.
Hope the migraine clears soon and stays gone.
Happy Easter wishes.
Hope you feel better soon! Your card is wonderful! The colours really pop. I did this challenge to and found it difficult but it’s amazing what we can do.
Happy Easter and enjoy your Sunday.
Love the card and the colors you used…. I could not have done that challenge, thought it is mission impossible….but you proofed the opposite…gute Besserung fuer die Migraene
This is super cute, and I love that you sponged the apples brown to go with the sentiment!
Glad you’re feeling better today! I just wanted to ask you a question, oh Great Stamping Guru! : ) I googled Fantastix to find out what they were. My question is, how are they different from the Blender Pens??
as soon as i saw the saying on the card, then read all your ingredients/instructions … i thought of YOU as being *one of the good ones* as you share all the deets of the cards you post instead of assuming your readers will be able to figure them out. it is WONDERFUL that you take the time to do this…thanks so much … AND for another beautiful card!!!
I agree, this card is great! Good luck wtih the migraines!!!
I love it, you are an expert sponger(is that a word..LOL) like all your doodling too!
Since we raise all but one of the fruits in the set, I really need to get this!
Sorry about the migraines. Hope you get to feeling better!
See, even without tools you still do spectacular work, TFS.
